Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of hydrogen bonds and aromatic interactions, making it valuable in drug design for targeting specific enzymes and receptors. Commonly employed in research settings for optimizing lead compounds in medicinal chemistry programs. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorescent probes and dyes due to its amide and amino functional groups, which can be modified for specific detection applications.
